Cover Notes

Not only a breathtaking account of the Special Forces raid on Iraqi scuds during the Gulf War, this is also a story of superhuman courage, endurance and dark humor in the face of overwhelming odds. Andy McNab, the most highly decorated soldier in 50 years of the British Special Forces, tells the story of his patrol, which in his commanding officer's words "will remain in regimental history forever." Photos. (Military History).

Their mission: To take out the scuds. Eight went out. Five came back. Their story had been closed in
secrecy. Until now. They were British Special Forces, trained to be the best. In January 1991 a squad of eight men went behind the Iraqi lines on a top secret mission. It was called Bravo Two Zero. On command was Sergeant Andy McNab. "They are the true unsung heroes of the war." -- Lt. Col. Steven
Turner, American F-15E commander. Dropped into "scud alley" carrying 210-pound packs, McNab and his men found themselves surrounded by Saddam's army. Their radios didn't work. The weather turned cold enough to freeze diesel fuel. And they had been spotted. Their only chance at survival was to fight their way to the Syrian border seventy-five miles to the northwest and swim the Euphrates river to freedom. Eight set out. Five came back. "I'll tell you who destroyed the scuds -- it was the British SAS. They were fabulous." -- John Major, British Prime Minister. This is their story. Filled with no-holds-barred detail about McNab's capture and excruciating torture, it tells of men tested beyond the limits of human endurance... and of the war you didn't see on CNN. Dirty, deadly, and fought outside the rules.

Brian Shajari rated this book Excellent
I read this book twice it was so good. I also read his other book, "Immediate Action." It gave you the feeling of almost constant drama, but the beginning starts off a bit slow. Other than that, this was an excellent book.

A really good book, I could not put it down and I was up all night to see what happens to some of the bravest men in the SAS.

Daniel Chaplar rated this book Excellent
Andy gives this book enough emotion that I could almost put myself in his shoes and see what was going on through his eyes. I can't wait to see the movie.

This book provided some very good reading but it did not provide an accurate acount of what realy happend when the group were trying to reach the Syrian border my personal veiw is that Andy McNab made himselfe to look like a hero.
